Getting extra storage space

Don't worry if your garage is a complete mess, you are definitely not alone. In fact I would bet that the majority of garages are completely un organised and hence aren't using their space very well. But what can you do about this?

Well, reorganising a garage is never an easy task, but you'll be very glad you did it when it's over! Not only will it help you find things in the future much more easily but when it comes to move house you'll find it a lot easier to do so.

Here are a few tips for organising your garage:

  1. Pack everything into boxes - but make sure you label them on the top AND side. You don't want to have to search through every box that you have in the future just to find the one piece of equipment that you need.
  2. Put your gardening tools near the entrance. This will help you to get at them easily as you might need them more than other things.
  3. Stack the least used boxes at the back such as holiday decorations. Make sure the things you regularly need are near the front.
  4. If you need more storage space consider getting some shelves to put on the walls
